A Chinese Archaistic Dark Green Jade Plaque in the Form of a Mythical Beast.
Carved from mottled dark green jade with russet inclusions, this Chinese plaque features an abstract design suggestive of a stylized mythical beast, possibly a chimera or dragon. The form is pierced with multiple apertures, including a large central hole and smaller round ones, indicating it may have been worn or suspended as a ceremonial ornament. The body curves with sweeping ridges, claw-like contours, and a serrated crown-like crest.
